Have you ever submitted an essay (amateur or beginner) to a free writing contest? What was the experience like?

@samueltyler2 I'm sorry. Why not try again?

@robbie2499 I did have one letter to the editor published in the NY Times!

@samueltyler2 Congratulations, that's not easy.

@robbie2499 thanks, I probably have submitted a hundred. I do not read the paiervon line And by the time some articles appear in the print edition, it is too late to respond.
